We’re playing catchup on our Iron Craft recaps this week – The first challenge of this year’s Iron Craft was paper. The traditional first anniversary gift is Paper, so that seems an obvious choice for our first challenge of the year.

My submission: Paint and Fold ArtI learned this once from an art therapist – you put paint in random blobs and designs on a piece of paper, then fold it in half (lengthwise, diagonal, however you want). Then you use your hand or a pencil to squish the paint. Unfold, and then you have a piece of modern art! Everyone sees something different in your art, so it’s pretty cool.[See all the first Iron Craft 2012 submissions]
